Wechlser recently released a new academic achievement, the Wechlser Individual Achievement Test-Third Edition (WIAT-III). This updated version of the WIAT-II has several new subtests that I have found to be very helpful in diagnosis of dyslexia and learning disabilities including an Oral Reading Fluency measurement and Math Fluency measurement. The assessment is longer than the WIAT-II and therefore it takes longer to administer, but I am finding that the additional information is well worth it. In addition it includes an oral reading component that the Woodcock Johnson Tests of Achievement-III does not have.
As an educational specialist at Child and Family Development, I use assessments including the WIAT-III to assess and diagnose learning disabilities and specifically dyslexia in school-aged children.
